Helping pharmaceutical manufacturers navigate the complex GP landscape
Government Pricing Specialists, LLC to Present at ACI's Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp
Louisville, CO - May 21, 2010 -Government Pricing Specialists, LLC (GPS) an industry leader in services associated with the Government Programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers, will be presenting at ACI's Rx Drug Pricing Boot Camp in San Francisco, May 25 - 26. The conference is designed to provide intensive training in essential pricing concepts, methodologies and strategies relative to key government payor programs. This includes Medicaid, Medicare, the Public Health Service and the Federal Supply Schedule.
GPS will be presenting in two separate sessions. The first will provide an overview of the mechanics and requirements of the Government Programs. The second is a joint presentation with Sarah Zinn of Hogan Lovell US LLP and focuses on recent healthcare reform's impact to pharmaceutical manufacturers, including the potential financial and strategic impacts.
Katie Lapins, President of GPS commented, "Government Pricing is a complex area made even more difficult by the recently passed Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA). Pharmaceutical manufacturers of all sizes are faced with the daunting prospect of complying with the significant changes required by this legislation in an accelerated timeframe. Many manufacturers lack the internal expertise and resources to evaluate the impact of PAPCA and HCERA or to respond with confidence to the changes required in their processes. This important training event is just one step towards providing employees with the knowledge necessary to determine the impact and to begin to make the necessary changes."
